oh my God! Tanya my brain shortcircuits as I see these gorgeous pictures! Tulips are my absolute favorite flower, I just adore them but unfortuntaly in my climate I couldn't grow them to save my life. I would hyperventilate if I visited a place like that! Greetings from Argentina.

Oh my, I think I am in heaven! I love, love tulips. What an amazing place; I've been to tulip festivals at a couple of botanic gardens, but I've never seen a display like this before. Thank you so much for sharing, Tatyana; your photos are stunning!

Thank you Rose! I think they do a great job designing that Display Garden and maintaining it. Old trees and fences help to create a special atmosphere. Because of them, I feel myself as in a private country garden. I'm happy that you loved the pictures!

Anonymous, please use your name next time. Anonymous comments are getting deleted. I'm sorry you had such bad experience. I do know that weekends are very busy there, and even working days can be busy too. That is why we always go there in the middle of the week and early in the morning. Are you referring to RoozenGaarde? While the RoozenGaarde's address is Mount Vernon, that farm and the Display Garden are actually located closer to La Conner. So, I am not sure what place you were talking about. There is another place which charges admission as well. If you are talking about RoozenGaarde, I gladly paid $7, and I would pay twice more. So much time, effort and labor goes to creating that Display Garden. Agriculture is a tough business and yes, the farms rely on the Festival. It's a typical business practice. I will continue going to the Skagit Valley to enjoy the beauty and to support the tulip farmers. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

​Lovely photos Tatyana, tulips and daffodils are a must for me in the spring - even though I can't fit in as many as I want in my tiny garden. They are all gone by now and the summer flowers are taking over - soon my garden will be filled with roses and lilies instead. Have a good gardening week!

So much work must have gone into creating these breathtaking displays! They are .... anything I can think of seems like an understatement. Beautiful, amazing, gorgeous, x 10 at least. The Pacific Northwest looks to be tulip heaven. Your photography is gorgeous too.
